"So it's like this," Amanda said. She scrutinized the pot and was quite surprised to see a large fire underneath. If it wasn't taken care of, it could have caused a big fire here.
Arthur was quite calm, continuing to look into the pot whose water was now a variety of colors due to the many types of plants in it.
Some were crushed and some he destroyed with his magic.
When all the plants finally merged with the water, he began to chant a spell.
"Please step back," he said to Amanda.
The latter quickly stepped back, even prepared for some sort of explosion.
BANG!
The sound of thunder echoed loudly from above.
About ten meters above the pot, a giant snake-shaped lightning bolt appeared. Its mouth opened and it lunged towards the pot.
Although Amanda wasn't afraid because she knew it was Arthur's magic, her body still trembled in natural response.
In an instant, the lightning struck the pot along with the fire underneath, producing a huge black smoke.
The potion this time was bigger and stronger, its effect naturally more devastating as well.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The glass bottles in Amanda's hand suddenly flew towards Arthur and floated in front of him.
Right after that, a transparent black liquid floated up from within the black smoke.
When Arthur waved his hand, the liquid split into several pieces before entering each bottle in front of Arthur.
Phew!
Arthur let out a sigh of relief, and then closed the bottles tightly.
He observed the liquid inside them for a while.
"Is it finished?" Amanda asked as she approached Arthur.
"Yes!" Arthur nodded, he handed two of the bottles to Amanda.
"Give one to Bella. Tonight, drink the potion. I guarantee that by tomorrow you will be a magus on par with my current aunt."
Hearing that, Amanda's eyes shone brightly while her caution increased drastically as she held the bottles.
"Let's go," Arthur said.
Amanda nodded.

The next thing they did was carry the wooden crate where the agarwood were kept. They left in another, larger car.
While driving, Amanda lacked focus as her gaze kept falling on the bottles she had placed on the dashboard.
Meanwhile, Arthur took out his cell phone.
He sent a message to Isla who was in America.
Since she had gone there, they had communicated several times, but only about magic.
Isla, although intelligent, was pretty much confused.
Now that Arthur had quite a lot of potions, he naturally didn't mind sharing them with her so that she would also soon become a magus so that she could act more easily there.
(I have something I want to send to you, give me your address!)
Isla replied quite quickly.
(This is my address!)
(By the way, what do you want to send?)
(The point is for you to become a magus faster!)
(Oh, how generous of you, Arthur.) She apparently replied again, with words that seemed flirtatious.
Arthur chose not to respond.
When he saw a shop that was a branch of an expedition service, he asked Amanda to stop the car.
"What's wrong?" The woman was confused.
"Wait a minute," Arthur replied without explaining.
He got out of the car and went to the shop.
In order for the potion to arrive quickly in America, he used the most expensive shipping product. The shopkeeper said that the goods would arrive in one day. If not, they would compensate the customer.
Amanda of course understood after she saw Arthur go to the shop.
When Arthur returned, she couldn't help but ask, "who did you send the potion to?"
Her expression looked like she was uncomfortable, probably remembering what Rose had said.
Arthur looked at her and smiled, "do you really want to know?"
He looked playful so Amanda felt a bit annoyed.
In the end, she said, "hm, are you afraid to say it so play around with secrets?"
"Of course not, I'm just worried about your mental health," Arthur replied.
"Just tell me, how old do you think I am?" Amanda began to pout.
"That I sent to America. Currently, I only have one acquaintance there, I'm sure you can guess." Arthur finally said it.
Although he didn't mention the name directly, Amanda knew right away.
"That little girl, you really taught her magic?" Her eyes seemed to want to widen but she held back.
The fact that she called Isla a little girl showed there was some sort of displeasure.
This time, Arthur chose not to respond again. He leaned back while enjoying the view of the city.
"You're really growing up fast, huh!" Amanda snorted softly before focusing on driving.
Perhaps what upset her was the fact that she only found out now. She should have guessed that Arthur would definitely recruit Isla as well given the woman's abilities.
Not long after, they finally arrived at the shop to sell the agarwood.
The shop was in one of the busiest and most expensive areas. It had a modern European design with three floors and even had a small courtyard that could be used as a parking lot.
The overall area was probably around 900 meters. With the price of land here being tens of thousands of euros per meter, the overall price of the shop must have been in the tens of millions of euros.
Two women, one black and one Asian stood in front of the shop, right next to a white BMW.
Their eyes kept looking at the street and finally stopped on Amanda's car.
Amanda stopped her car in front of the two women, Lin and Kaiya.
Until now, they still looked confused, which was obviously because they didn't know what exactly was being sold in this shop.
The problem was that Amanda had even sent invitations to many of Vera City's elite to attend the opening of the shop.
Seeing Arthur who got out of the car with Amanda, their gazes finally fell on Arthur. They knew that it was this man who made Amanda buy this shop. In other words, the things sold here are related to him.
Amanda looked at them and said, "there is a wooden crate in the trunk, get some people to put it in the shop!"
